always poll, even without poll(2)

I added src/replacements/fakepoll.c tonight. Quite a bit cleaner than what I found on the 'Net, if I do say so myself, but the guts are the same. You can learn a lot about poll/select by working on a function that does one in terms of the other. Currently it's named "fakepoll()" because when I named it "poll()", it supplanted poll(2) on my machine. (Quite helpful for debugging it, btw!) Clearly there's a little autoconf work ahead. (Freddy, if you know how to make fakepoll be used only when there's no poll(2), I'd be grateful if you'd show me. I didn't want to add the whole contents of fakepoll.h to replacements.h.) Always having poll/fakepoll around will mean we can drop #if USE_POLL from the code, as well as all references to select(2). Probably we should rename tds_select to tds_poll at the same time.... --jkl
